07/28/10 – Ray McGovern – The Scott Horton Show

Ray McGovern, former senior analyst at the CIA, discusses the supplanting of the traditional press (Fourth Estate) by borderless internet journalism (the â€œFifth Estateâ€), the New York Timesâ€˜ â€œattaboyâ€ reward from the White House for its deference to government authority, the mediaâ€™s new discovery that other countries sometimes have different priorities than the U.S., the plethora of information in the Afghan War Diary that will aid Iran war boosters and why the Taliban seem to be waging a very successful insurgency.
